I just spoke to S&W CS. They told be that 15-22 mags are on back order but should be available in 2-3 weeks.
Any idea how much the mags will cost?

They are $20+shipping direct from S&W.

That is really reasonable. I will have to pick up a couple of extras when they become available.

I spoke to my local gunshop regarding the M&P15 .22 version availability late yesterday afternoon. His Minneapolis disributor stated this new item is the most sought-after rifle by his gun dealers during the past 10 days. S&W has not really promoted this rifle yet other than their website coverage. Another 30-day wait for me.
Extra .22 magazine pricing seems good to me!

HOT! HOT! HOT!
I just checked GunBroker.com for all M&P15 listings. 90% of the M&P15's have "no bids". The one listing of the .22 version has 11 bids already...up to $425!
Just got to get one!

IF someone paid that for it...it just proves a fool and his/her money soon part!

If it helps at all, it was in dear ole' Illinois. I didn't watch to see if it sold, but I'm guessing it didn't.
Got mine! They had them at Cabela's for $469.99 plus you could use a $20 off coupon. I hope to get out to the range this weekend I picked up two brands of ammo, CCI HV and Federal, hoping they will both work. Now I want another magazine.

How many of the M&P15 .22 rifles did they have in stock??

Nine before I purchased mine. I also found one in a small store here but they had just the one and the price was I bit more.
Latest update, We have shot over 1500 rounds, not one problem.
Now for the bad stuff, you have to have spare magazines and boy does this gun go thru the ammo.
I ordered two spare magazines from S & W on-line yesterday and picked up two bricks of 22's. I'm gone back out and have some more fun!!
Hope you all get yours soon.

Hey guys range update I finally got to shoot the new toy today and it is a lot of fun! We were only able to put about 75 rounds down range do to timing but had no problems feeding or ejecting. Just for reference I did clean things before the first firing and lubed things down a bit I loaded the magazine one at a time as suggested by another post here. I used the HV Federals in the bulk 500 pack from Wal-Mart and some of the CCI mini-mag HV. I agree with the above post extra mags would come in handy. I can’t wait to shoot again my son did most of it today.

Just ordered 3 mags from S&W.
Ohhhhh Yeah!
Ohhhhh Yeah!
Just bought a brick of Widcats to tryout. I shot the first mag, no problem. I loaded back up and left the wife shoot, bang,bang, KABOOM, sounded like double charge. Wife was ok other than being a bit P*@#ssed off. No damage to the gun. The fire case rim swelled and split open. Loaded up shot 2 more mags, gun works fine. I don't believe this is why they call'em Widcats.
Went home got Winchester online, I just found out they have a recall on certain lot numbers of Wildcats. Reason for recall__Double charge. I checked and my ammo was Not on the recall lot. I will be calling Winchester tomorrow to share with them our experience.
This is why you must be careful. Wife and I had a LUCKY day.

Having a .22LR case burst, though not common...is not unheard of. We have them from time to time at our Steel Challenge matches.
